Thinking their Commander was tardy in complying with rite order oldie Lords of the Ad miralty, when called upon, on Wednesday morning last, to wash decks and scrub the Ship, they reftised, and went aft in a body to the quarter-deck ; they requested to know why their leave 'was kept back, and entreated it should be immediately granted. The First Lieutenant told them it was the Captain's wish (who was absent on leave) that only a watch should have iiberty at once, and on their return the other :watch should have the Same indulgence. They repli ed in one voice, " No—altor none." On Thtirsday the whole of the crew were granted fourteen days!. liberty, but wetertot paid off. On their getting On shore they formed into a body,' and marched for London with a drum and fife, and union jack fly ing—many of the poor fellows Without a farthing in their pockets.
